TL;DR of our review of President Trump’s first 100 days: Here are 10 areas in which the Trump administration has weakened human rights protections, harming millions of people. ⬇️🧵
#1: Ending asylum and targeting immigrants: Mass deportations, enforced disappearances under the Alien Enemies Act, family separations, and harsh restrictions on the right to asylum have violated international law. These actions have torn communities apart and created a reality in which immigrants, including those who have come to the U.S. seeking safety, are pushed into the shadows, living in fear.
#2: Attacking freedom of expression and the right to protest: Crackdowns on student protestors, especially those in support of Palestinian rights, have threatened the rights to free speech and peaceful assembly. Especially targeted are students who are not U.S. citizens as they are threatened with detention and deportation for exercising their right to free speech.

BREAKING: Israel must rescind latest ‘evacuation’ orders for North Gaza and allow immediate, unhindered humanitarian access

@hebamorayef, Middle East and North Africa’s Regional Director at @Amnesty, said ⬇️

amnestyusa.org/press-releases…
“The Israeli military has intensified its efforts to forcibly displace the entirety of the civilian population in the area north of Wadi Gaza to the south, starting with the North Gaza governorate, forcing civilians to choose between starvation or displacement, while their homes and streets are relentlessly pounded by bombs and shells.
“The world must stop standing by while Israel uses siege, starvation and atrocity crimes to forcibly displace and destroy civilians and civilian life.

In a few hours, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be addressing a joint session of Congress.

His visit comes as daily military strikes in Gaza, powered by U.S.-made weapons, are killing children and tearing families apart.

A human rights thread.⬇️
Here are the facts.

Netanyahu has evaded calls for a ceasefire and denied critical aid, even as Palestinian civilians are being starved and remain at risk of genocide.
Specifically, Amnesty International’s findings have uncovered an immense scale of violations, including:

❌Evidence of war crimes committed by Israeli forces, which have targeted civilians and wiped out entire Palestinian families using U.S.-made weapons.
❌Torture, ill-treatment, enforced disappearance, and mass detention of thousands of Palestinian civilians, including children.
❌Escalating attacks and limitations on humanitarian aid have combined to kill more than 38,000 people and internally displaced at least 75% of Gaza’s total population. amnestyusa.org/blog/no-weapon…

Israel/OPT: ICC Applications for Arrest Warrants for Netanyahu, Sinwar and Other Senior Israeli and Hamas Officials Crucial Step Towards Justice

@AgnesCallamard, @Amnesty’s Secretary General, said:

amnestyusa.org/press-releases…
“No one is above international law: no leaders of armed groups, no government officials – elected or not, no military officials. Regardless of the cause they are pursuing, no one is above the law.
“This move by the ICC Prosecutor sends an important message to all parties to the conflict in Gaza and beyond that they will be held accountable for the devastation they have waged on the peoples of Gaza and Israel.

BREAKING: Amnesty International USA Response to New Weapons Transfer to Government of Israel

@dpaulobrien, Executive Director of Amnesty International USA, made the following statement:

amnestyusa.org/press-releases…
“One day President Biden expresses concerns about the actions of Israeli forces in Rafah, the next day he plans to send them weapons. This is at best mixed messages, or worse, total complicity.
"He knows that Rafah will be an unmitigated—and unlawful— disaster of human suffering and death that he and the U.S. government is enabling with U.S. taxpayer dollars.

Israel/OPT: US-Made Munitions Killed 43 Civilians in Two Documented Israeli Air Strikes in Gaza – New Investigation

@dpaulobrien, Executive Director of Amnesty International USA, said:

amnestyusa.org/press-releases…
“Amnesty International’s devastating research findings link US-made weapons to civilian killings. This demands urgent attention and action by President Biden and the U.S. Congress.
“The United States has an outsized role and responsibility to do everything in its power to ensure civilians are protected, including suspending the supply, sale, or transfer of arms until there is no longer a risk they will be used unlawfully.
